English translation of verses 5.24.71-73:

To please Nanda, the gopīs, and the other people of Vraja, Lord Kṛṣṇa sent to them His personal associate Uddhava, who is very virtuous and exalted, and who has a transcendental form like that of the Lord Himself. Lord Kṛṣṇa did not directly appear to them at first. First he sent Uddhava. Then, when they understood the true nature of Kṛṣṇa, the people of Vraja worshiped Him with great reverence.
